Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings provide further evidence that diesel exhaust exposure may cause lung cancer in humans and may represent a potential public health burden and an interaction between smoking and 15-year lagged cumulative REC was attenuated in the presence of high levels of the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Diesel Exhaust in Miners Study: A Cohort Mortality Study With Emphasis on Lung Cancer
Michael D. Attfield,Patricia L. Schleiff,Jay H. Lubin,Aaron Blair,Patricia A. Stewart,Roel Vermeulen,Joseph Coble,Debra T. Silverman +7 more
TL;DR: The association between diesel exhaust exposure and lung cancer risk remained after inclusion of other work-related potentially confounding exposures in the models and were robust to alternative approaches to exposure derivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pooled exposure-response analyses and risk assessment for lung cancer in 10 cohorts of silica-exposed workers: an IARC multicentre study.
Kyle Steenland,Andrea Martine 't Mannetje,Paolo Boffetta,Leslie T. Stayner,Michael D. Attfield,J.-Q. Chen,Mustafa Dosemeci,Nicholas DeKlerk,Eva Hnizdo,Riitta Sisko Koskela,Harvey Checkoway +10 more
TL;DR: The results support the decision by the IARC to classify inhaled silica in occupational settings as a carcinogen, and suggest that the current exposure limits in many countries may be inadequate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapidly progressive coal workers' pneumoconiosis in the United States: geographic clustering and other factors.
V C dos Santos Antao,Edward L. Petsonk,L Z Sokolow,A L Wolfe,Germania A. Pinheiro,Janet M. Hale,Michael D. Attfield +6 more
TL;DR: Cases of rapidly progressive CWP can be regarded as sentinel health events, indicating inadequate prevention measures in specific regions, and should prompt investigations to identify causal factors and initiate appropriate additional measures to prevent further disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure-response analysis and risk assessment for silica and silicosis mortality in a pooled analysis of six cohorts
Andrea 't Mannetje,Kyle Steenland,Michael D. Attfield,Paolo Boffetta,Harvey Checkoway,N. Deklerk,Riitta-Sisko Koskela +6 more
TL;DR: The findings from this pooled analysis add further support to the need to control silica exposure and to lower the occupational standards.
